Abstract:
Global warming is no longer a contested phenomenon –the issue is how to deal with it!
SA government recognizes that the country is vulnerable to effects of climate change.
Introduction of a CT is one of the policy interventions by SA government to mitigate global warming.
Position of organized labour on the introduction of a CT has ranged from outright rejection to requesting delay in its implementation.
Impact of a CT on employment in South Africa still uncertain.
As a contribution to the debate, a SD is used to model the effect of CT on employment in high emission sectors.
